I don't think AI should be used as a replacement for people, but it's getting better. I asked it to come up with ideas for a comedy sketch I want to film. The ideas it came up with are miles better than two years ago.

The only time I'll ever watch the ESPYs again is if Norm Macdonald is the host, and I'd say the odds are slim that will happen.

I was never really in it to make money and am probably close to even over the years from tournament play. It was just a hobby for entertainment. I think I got most tired of the people, way too many miserable assholes ruining the games.

I enjoy playing both cash games and tourneys, but you're right, there are some assholes out there. One time I was playing a cash game at all card room, and I was on fire. Winning a lot of pots and getting people to fold late in hands. A guy across the table started bitching to the guy next to him that I wasnt a good player and I was just getting lucky.

I told him "I'll keep getting lucky, and you can keep giving me your money"

I walked out of there with like $800 that night

I'm cool with being single. I've have 4 long term relationships, including a marriage. I'm at the stage of "don't care, but open to it happening"

My last girlfriend was an absolute nutcase, to the point where I'd drive home and sit in my car for 30 minutes, just to mentally prepare for whatever bullshite I was about to walk into. That's no way to live

re: Any of you guys ever start a fire using primitive methods?

Posted by WaltTeevens on 7/13/26 at 1:58 am to cubsfan5150

Yeah one time in Santa Cruz, CA I was tasked with starting a bonfire and didn't have shite. I used the two sticks method and somehow got a fire going. I felt awesome in front of all my friends.

If you asked me to repeat the attempt 20 years later, I don't know if I could do it.

The World Cup is an amazing tournament. We don't have it on home soil many times. Having visitors from all over the world come here and see the way Americans really are, and the true beauty of our country, has been a lot of fun.

On the pitch, we were seeing Ronaldo and Messi's last world cups, which are watershed moments. We've seen Cabo Verde be a Cinderella team, Argentina pull wins out of their arse, the Balgoun drama, Norway and Scotland winning hearts, packed stadiums with incredible atmospheres. I understand tuning out once this ends. But this is the greatest sporting spectacle on Earth.

It's always been this way. I worked for Best Buy in college back in 2005-2010 and LP was always at the front door

Yeah worked there 2003-2005 and we had three LP people.

We had our morning meeting one day, and one of the car-fi guys got arrested. He had stolen $40k worth of dvds, cds, video games. He had all the empty boxes behind the car-fi speaker displays. They took him out in cuffs while we were having our huddle.

I agree with the red card. I don’t like the suspension for the next game. That seems a bit harsh. Maybe they could use the 1/2 game suspension like NCAA
